I agree with you, but would like one counterpoint. There are plenty of planes that are aerodynamically unstable and require fly by wire/computers for satisfactory flight characteristics. Fighters like relaxed aerodynamic roll stability for roll rate. Now pitch stability issues are troubling. I don't think engineers would purposely relax pitch stability unless they had to. I guess I'm saying you might want an airplane aerodynamically unstable in roll, but pretty much never in pitch so the fly by wire argument might not be valid here.
